April Favourites
Everything that happened last month.
It’s annoying to talk about weather, but I can’t help myself and I’m not sorry. To put it plainly, these temperatures are bullshit. It has been cold, windy and wet for what feels like weeks. I’ve never been moodier. Someone said it’s perfect autumn weather and that’s too obnoxiously true. If something doesn’t change soon, well there’s nothing that can be done. So that’s fun.
Spring Sundays has been going strong.
The best tweets and threads of the month can be seen here.
Tried the lemon meringue pie M&Ms and they were weird and good, but taste nothing like an M&M.
Decided to never to to Tim Hortons again. The quality of everything at Second Cup is better and it’s fully Canadian, so the choice has been made. It’s fun to make declarative statements sometimes.
Loved Emily Lycopolus’s cookbook A Rising Tide: A Cookbook of Recipes and Stories from Canada’s Atlantic Coast. I’d never even heard of Jonah crab or hot milk cake, so I intend to eat/make them soon.
I can’t get over how well my basil plant is doing (this is growth from only three weeks).
I will always make these blueberry bran muffins because they’re perfect and I can never find a bran muffin anywhere. I store them in the fridge, then slice in half and heat up and if you’re feeling fancy then added some salted butter on top.
The brunch at Earl’s was surprisingly really good. I scoffed at the breakfast tacos, then ordered it and proceeded to shut my mouth at how good they were.
In love with the Richard Scarry kids books and all of his characters. What DO people do all day. Don’t say work.
